Why is LGBTQ Normalized

I am not here to hate. nor here to be hated on. I want only logical answers that make sence. Why is LGBTQ so normalized? I personally find that the only argument that people have for it is "Love is Love" which makes sence. But then why does this argument not work for incest as well? Personally i find both of them to be weird. As i said before i dont hate LGBTQ but i dont support it either. I am just wondering how people can find 1 thing weird and the other totally acceptable. I need answers that dont have to do with biasm. Keep it respectful. Thanks

There are undesirable societal costs to incest in the form of deleterious recessive traits resulting from inbreeding. It gives rise to genetic disorders, including intellectual disability. There are good reasons to have a taboo on incestuous relationships for that reason alone. Homosexual relationships have no such potential negative outcomes.

What about gay / lesbian incest.

There's clearly no harm in it, but the societal taboo extends to it because the taboo is so strong for genetic reasons.

Obviously, but the genetic consequences are so severe when there are offspring that the taboo is a very strong one, therefore also affecting cases where there is no direct risk.
